  • Friday 22 November, 12.45 to 2.45pm.
  • Friday 29 November, 12.45 to 2.45pm.

Please note that places are limited. We will confirm your place by Wednesday 13 November.  

What is the Law Commission consultation about?  

The Law Commission has made proposals on reforming social care law for disabled children in England. 

The aim is to make the law simpler and fairer, something that Contact and the Disabled Children’s Partnership (DCP) have campaigned for over many years. 

The Department for Education (DfE) asked the Law Commission to review disabled children’s social care law because it is too complicated, inaccessible and potentially unfair for disabled children.
